Majesco and WayForward walked a thin line with BloodRayne: Betrayal. This 2D, anime-styled Side-Scrolling bloodfest is a visual treat, and it certainly provides a challenge as your progress further through the levels. Its feeling of speed, however, varies drastically. It felt fast-paced at the wrong times (when trying to control landings), and far too slow [...]

Forza Motorsport 3 was a top-notch title and yet Turn 10 somehow managed to make an even better game with Forza Motorsport 4. Graphically, the environments are crisper, the textures are far more detailed and vivid, and the game overall looks fantastic. Furthermore, the loading times are significantly faster, there is a wider variety of [...]

Just when you thought there couldn’t be a game more ADD inducing than anything out of the Splosion Man franchise, ZEN Studios partnered with Twisted Pixel to create a Ms. Splosion Man expansion table for Pinball FX 2. It’s bright, it’s loaded with ramps, bumpers and fast-paced missions, and it’s an amazing representation of the [...]

If you’re a fan of the Gears saga, then the question of whether or not to purchase the third and (hopefully) final installment is a no brainer. For me, I’ve grown tired of shooters, but the Gears trilogy will always hold a place in my carnage craving heart. And Gears of War 3, with its [...]

Eli pretty much entirely captured my thoughts on Duke Nukem Forever. I think I’ll just add that I did appreciate some of the self-referential humor and I did have some fun playing it, but for a game that was twelve years in the making it was far too standard, and uninspired. Also, the loading times [...]

There may have been elements of horror in F.E.A.R. 3, but overall it just felt like a more ominous Call of Duty. Sure there were some spooks, but those moments were few and far between, and the rest (or majority) of the game was just your standard first-person shooter. Not to say that it isn’t [...]

I want to say that playing Duke Nukem Forever has left me conflicted – appeased by a hit of excessively violent, campy nostalgia, but disappointed by graphical inferiority, unnecessarily slow loading times and its refusal to even try innovating. I would, but the mix of the aforementioned issues and the game’s lackluster attempts to be [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that the past two games in the Call of Juarez franchise were released before their completion. Regardless of who’s to blame for that, be it Ubisoft for pushing for too early a release date, or Techland for claiming they were ready before they truly were, Bound in Blood [...]

When you’ve got Suda 51 involved in a game, you know you’re in for a filthily quirky experience. Well, Shadows of the Damned was definitely filthy, as it was flowing with penis jokes, sex jokes, and more penis jokes. On the quirky side, however, it had its strange moments, but it wasn’t as rampant as [...]

Dead Block is one of those titles which makes me wish that renting downloadable content was possible. Its satirical and campy take on the “scourge” of rock and roll in the 1950s and how its evil grooves raised the dead, turning them into zombies, is humorous and well executed. However, playing through a few levels, [...]
